Do you have the miner directly connected to the site or are you using an intermediate like NiceHash or MiningRigRentals?

I can confirm this issue when using nicehash for both scrypt and X11.

Tested for scrypt with verificator:

Using: Pool pass: d=8192
Response from verificator: Received mining.set_difficulty... OK: difficulty=4096

When mining the miner disconnects after a short while because of too low difficulty.

Best,
Maznoz

I had the same problem until I added a=scrypt to the password arguments. Seems like when it defaults to scrypt it always uses the dynamic difficulty.

Thanks. Confirmed for scrypt that after adding an explicit "a=scrypt" the difficulty is properly picked up by the pool.
